Wang Xiaotian was stunned for a moment, and asked again: "Your Highness just said that you want to leave all the visiting head of the Cabal Regiment as hostages in Dushant, that is, the Xia City Lord. That's what you mean, did I hear me right?"

Princess Nia nodded affirmatively, "That's what it means." ”

Wang Xiaotian was surprised, "Why did Your Highness arrange it like this? Could it be that there are inside lines between them that the eldest prince and the second prince have inserted?"

Princess Nia shook her head and said, "No. I'm doing this for their sake. I went to see the Emir lord and the Canaanite general who had come with his troops, and if all went well, the general would be on my side, and the war would not have happened. Then, Captain Kabal, they will naturally be able to go home safely with me. ”

"If it doesn't go well, the general will put me under house arrest. At this time, you will take the Captain of Kabal and them hostage. If you win, you won't be embarrassed by Cabal Captain them. If...... You have withdrawn from Dushante, and when they enter Dushante, they see the head of the Cabal who is being taken hostage, and there is no reason to embarrass them. ”

Wang Xiaotian suddenly realized when he heard this. It's the same as a gangster taking his accomplices hostage and threatening the police. The gangsters got out, and the police would not embarrass the hostages. The gangsters are brought to justice, and the police will not embarrass the hostages.

I have to say that in this situation, Princess Nia's method is indeed the best choice to protect Captain Kabal.

This is political wisdom! Although Princess Nia does not seem to be a sophisticated politician. But he was born in the emperor's family, and all he was exposed to was Gong Dou, how could he not understand it at all?

It's just that she used to follow her father's arrangement, and she lacked the psychological preparation to go to the stage to make decisions.

Next, Princess Nia pulled Wang Xiaotian again, and chatted with Cao Lianyou for a long time. As she spoke, she couldn't help but cry.

In fact, Wang Xiaotian can understand her feelings. The biological daughter only got along for more than a month, and before they could recognize each other, they had to separate. Moreover, she doesn't know if she can meet again for the rest of her life, how can she not cry sadly?

However, Wang Xiaotian didn't know how to comfort Princess Nia. He was also very helpless about the situation in front of him. He could only say "don't cry" over and over again, "you can go to the Eastern Chu Kingdom again if you have the opportunity in the future".

Princess Nia cried for a long time before she stopped her tears and said, "Before coming from the academy, I handed over a box to Dean Liu. That's the dowry I prepared for Mercy. Dean Liu will hand over the box to her before she graduates. The unlocking code of the box is the birthday of mercy. ”

Wang Xiaotian felt very strange in his heart and asked, "You told me this, do you want me to tell you to Pian You?"

Princess Nia nodded, "I came in such a hurry that I forgot to tell Mercy." ”

Wang Xiaotian secretly wondered in his heart that Princess Nia didn't forget to tell Pian You, but she didn't know how to tell Pian You that she was Pian You's biological mother.

During this time, although Princess Nia has been pestering Pianyou, she has not told Lianyou her true identity. Naturally, she didn't tell Pian You that she was Pi You's biological mother.

In Pienyu's opinion, Princess Nia is just a female professor from a foreign country who likes a little too much.

Princess Nia didn't tell Pian You the truth, on the one hand, she was worried that saying it herself would bring a lot of inconvenience to Pi You. On the other hand, she didn't know how to deal with the question, "Why did you abandon me back then?"

This is a question that all mothers who have abandoned their children cannot face.

Wang Xiaotian scratched his head and said, "That, Master and I are not sure when Pian You's birthday is." ”

Princess Nia immediately said, "December 28th." ”

Wang Xiaotian nodded thoughtfully. The traditional dress of the Canaanite Commonwealth was very loose, and the winter clothes were even heavier and looser.

If Princess Nia is pregnant in the spring, the change in body shape is not obvious for the first four months, and when there is a significant change in body shape, it is already winter, and she wears heavier and looser clothes, and outsiders cannot see the change in her body shape at all.

In addition, she lives in the palace, except for the palace maid and mother, not to mention outsiders, even his father and brother, they may not be able to see her often. This created the conditions for her to become pregnant and give birth to Mercy.

Princess Nia saw that Wang Xiaotian was thinking, and she didn't know what he was thinking (if she knew, she would have to knock him on the head), so she said that she was a little tired and wanted to go back to her room to rest.

After Princess Nia left, Wang Xiaotian returned to the banquet hall. I saw that the people attending the banquet were basically drunk, lying on the ground and falling asleep, standing on the table with their hands dancing, and slumping on the chairs and smirking. There is not a single one who can really stay awake.

Wang Xiaotian's brain hurt from the heavy smell of alcohol. He sighed, called the waiters, and asked them to send the drunk guys back to their rooms to rest. He went straight back to sleep himself.

The next day, Wang Xiaotian slept until three o'clock in the morning before getting up. Because no matter how early he got up, he couldn't find Xia Xianlong.

Sure enough, when he finished his breakfast slowly, he didn't see Xia Xianlong's shadow. He had no choice but to come to Xia Xianlong's room and knocked on the door for a long time, only to hear Xia Xianlong's weak response inside.

The door opened, revealing Xia Xianlong's haggard and puffy face after a hangover, and he grinned from time to time because of a headache.

Wang Xiaotian gloated and smiled: "Drink the broken pieces, do you know how you came back?"

Xia Xianlong showed a look of hard thought, and shook his head for a long time, "I don't know." ”

Wang Xiaotian smiled: "You were carried back like a dead pig." ”

Xia Xianlong counterattacked: "You are the pig." ”

Wang Xiaotian snorted and said, "Just like you were last night, if an assassin arranged by the former city lord wants to kill you, it's as easy as killing a pig." You're all the city lords and you're so unremarkable, what a pig!"

Xia Xianlong was just about to sneer at him, but Wang Xiaotian immediately interrupted him, "If you dare to say me, I will leave immediately, and you will guard Dushant alone." ”

Xia Xianlong immediately withered, opened his mouth and snorted for a long time before he said hatefully: "Count you ruthless." ”

Wang Xiaotian smelled the strong smell of wine on Xia Xianlong's body, pinched his nose and said, "I'll wait for you in the room in half an hour." The smell on your body is too smoky. Hurry up and take a shower and change your clothes. ”

Xia Xianlong said: "How can half an hour be enough?"

Wang Xiaotian took a step back, "Why is it not enough? Hurry up, don't grind. ”

After he finished speaking, he turned his head and left, ignoring Xia Xianlong, who looked depressed.

Half an hour later, Xia Xianlong, who had a new look, came to Wang Xiaotian's room with wet hair, and saw that Wang Xiaotian was full of all kinds of refreshments in front of him. He couldn't help but say, "You're really going to enjoy it." With such a little effort, I don't forget to eat. ”

Wang Xiaotian rolled his eyes at him and said, "It's really a dog biting Lu Dongbin, I don't know the hearts of good people." I've been losing weight lately, how can I eat this? These are the things I prepared for you considering that you didn't have breakfast. ”

Xia Xianlong suddenly looked ashamed and said, "Oh, I blamed you for saying that, I'm really sorry." ”

Wang Xiaotian waved his hand, "You don't need to apologize." Anyway, the entire Oriental Hotel is yours, and these expenses are naturally paid for by you. I don't spend one. ”

Xia Xianlong sat opposite Wang Xiaotian and said, "As soon as you say this, I have a good impression of you, and the little good impression I have suddenly disappeared. With that, he picked up the refreshments and stuffed them into his mouth, which was soon full.

Wang Xiaotian took a sip of milk tea and asked, "Do you know the news that the emir is coming with the army of the Canaan Federation?"

Xia Xianlong nodded.

"What's the plan?"

Xia Xianlong picked up the teacup and poured a sip of tea, swallowed the food in his mouth, and then said, "What can you do? Uncle Durban, if they hadn't evacuated, I would have been able to find a way to support it. ”

"Yu Wanlai has passed the word, and if Qianlong can reveal the news to me, he has already done his duty, and there is no way to give substantial support. It can be said that now the whole of Dushant is guarded by myself. What can I do?"

Wang Xiaotian put down the teacup and said, "So, are you planning to retreat?"

Xia Xianlong nodded, "That's right." I can't do such a crazy thing to defend a lonely city alone, and there are no reinforcements. ”

Wang Xiaotian shook his head and said, "You are not alone. ”

Xia Xianlong's eyes lit up, "So, are you willing to help me?"

Wang Xiaotian nodded, "Of course." In addition to me, there are also Lu Yusheng and them, who can also help. However, even if we are added to fight against the entire army of the Canaanite Federation, there is no chance of victory. So, I have to think of some other way. ”

Xia Xianlong immediately asked, "What way?"

Wang Xiaotian said: "Under the heavy reward, there will be brave men." The previous city lord left so much treasure, should he let them lie down in the treasury and sleep profusely?"

Xia Xianlong shook his head and said, "I've thought about taking those things out and recruiting a group of people for a long time." It's a pity that the current city defense army is simply scattered and has no combat effectiveness. And Dushantri's people, the origin is very complicated. Recruit them to defend Dushante, and it is likely that the wolf will be brought into the house. ”

Wang Xiaotian said: "Why do you want to be Dushante? You can go to Kashgar." ”

Xia Xianlong said: "Even if you go to Kashgar, there are not many masters, right?"

Wang Xiaotian said with a smile: "Is there a master, don't you know if the reward is out?" You hurry up and formulate the reward standard, and let the people from Yu's firm help release it in Kashgar. Anyone who comes to Dushant is paid half of the honorarium in advance. As long as the bounty is sent out, you will soon know how many masters there are. ”

Xia Xianlong looked at Wang Xiaotian suspiciously, "Are you sure this is feasible?"

Wang Xiaotian said: "Do you have a better way? If it doesn't work, you have to give it a try, and you will be treated as a dead horse and a live horse doctor." ”

Xia Xianlong thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay." I'll arrange it. ”

Wang Xiaotian saw that he got up to leave, and hurriedly said, "I haven't spoken yet, why are you in a hurry." ”

Xia Xianlong, who was just about to get up, had no choice but to sit down again and asked, "What else is going on?"

Wang Xiaotian said: "Princess Nia said that if the army of the Canaan Federation comes, she will go to meet the general who leads the army, and try to persuade the other party not to attack the city." ”

Xia Xianlong listened, nodded, and said, "Princess Nia is really a kind person. ”

Wang Xiaotian continued: "Her Royal Highness also said that when she went to meet the leading general, you would take all the other members of the Canaan Federation delegation hostage. ”

When Xia Xianlong heard this, he couldn't close his mouth in surprise, and looked at Wang Xiaotian in disbelief. After a while, he asked, "Is this what Princess Nia said?

Wang Xiaotian gave him a blank look and briefly explained the reason. Xia Xianlong suddenly realized, gave a thumbs up and said, "Princess Nia is really thoughtful. I ask you to inform Her Royal Highness that I will cooperate with her in protecting the safety of the members of the delegation. ”

Wang Xiaotian nodded, and then asked, "As the saying goes, brothers settle accounts. We people have come all the way here to help you defend the city, how can you thank us?"
